37. I don't subscribe to that premise, yet alone this CNN national poll. For one thing, it isn't broken

down demographically. How many republicans, Democrats, Independents, women, African Americans, Latinos, etc are represented?

Do larger states with more people have more weighting? The poll doesn't indicate such. Just a random calling of 1001 people by phone.

A national poll after a contentious primary is not a measure of anything, yet alone enthusiasm. In fact these numbers are not much different than after the 2008 primaries.

I also do not subscribe to your assessment of the "I'm not as bad as the other guy".

There are a lot of Americans who are excited about Hillary, in all demographics, and across party lines

This isn't a "lesser of two evils". This is about one candidate who is far superior than the other candidate across all issues, domestic and internationally
